After intensive debugging it turned out Pokemon Platinum uses standard PRNG to decode/encode whole section containing achievements like: trainer card score, number of link battles, number of trades, number of wins in link battles, number of loses in link battles, etc.

Section responsible for holding these data can be located in save game at offsets 0x61B4 - 0x6364 (or 0x461B4 - 0x46364 depending which save is newer). Futhermore PRNG Seed required to decode this section is found at the end of it, that is at 0x6368 (or 0x46368). Decoding/Encoding algorithm uses seed as initialisation for PRNG and then XORs words (16bit) with next values of PRNG. For instance 2byte number in 0x61b4-b5 is xored with PRNG[1], 0x61b6-b7 with PRNG[2] where PRNG[i] is i-th frame of PRNG with seed taken from 0x6368.

PS> I hope COM will eventually add this to Pokesav for everyone to enjoy.
